Devastation at St. Mary’s Preparatory & Kindergarten School, Montpelier, St. James

St. Mary’s Preparatory and Kindergarten School has suffered extensive damage following the passage of Hurricane Melissa. The beloved institution ; known as a beacon of excellence in Montpelier was hit hard, and to make matters worse, individuals from nearby communities looted the school, stealing chairs, computers, appliances, and other essential items.

Under the steadfast leadership of Dr. Anthony Taylor, the school was resurrected from near closure 17 years ago, growing from just 60 students to a thriving population of 365. Over the years, St. Mary’s has produced brilliant young minds, earning numerous titles and scholarships and standing as a model of what dedication and community spirit can achieve.

We lost the kindergarten block, grades 1 and 2 block, and grades 3-4 block . Nothing was spared.

The destruction of the newly built STEM Center, which was set to open in February 2026, is especially heartbreaking. Yet, Dr. Taylor remains resolute and optimistic that St. Mary’s will rise again ; stronger, better, and brighter.
Our plan is to re-roof the buildings that remain and them as a hub to resume teaching and learning whenever possible.

Now, more than ever, we need all partners and friends of education to come on board to help us rebuild this vital institution. Together, we can restore St. Mary’s to its former glory and ensure our children’s dreams continue to flourish.
